Hey Jen!! :waves:

Yeah, there are better ways to go than thru Zurich. Plus we have an article suggesting VietNam at some point..could this be the long haul flight?

Time is getting short....

There's a direct flight to either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City (all in Vietnam) from Paris. The flight between Athens and Paris could make a lot easier, are they really going to Vietnam?

Probably Asia is next considering we are probably at leg 7 now
Perhaps a visit to Cambodia or Vietnam?
Vietnam SPEC only, article from VBN MAY 13, 2016 , WARNING there are other TAR versions/spoilers in there "xxxx brought its Amazing Race to the country just last week, while the xxx and xxx versions are scheduled to visit the country this month, and the US version in late June.
Plus we have an article suggesting VietNam at some point

What article? Did I miss something? :didimiss:
I don't know how true the article is. We have to wait and see.

Looks like it is:

The Amazing Race auditions will be done in Orlando again this year! Auditions will be done on Sunday, June 26th from 10am-2pm. You will need to bring a drivers license or a passport for proof of age. Auditions will be 1 minute long per contestant.

And:

The CBS hit show “The Amazing Race” is looking for participants from the Central Florida area for an upcoming season of the show.

Don't count on it. Open Auditions have no bearing on what CBS plans. 

Further discussion in the application thread please. :tup:

FWIW the BBC weather map shows area near Delhi and most of west coast of India to be clear (albeit cloudy).  It's hot as hell, but that's a different story.

I'm not sure which TAR version this is, but I figured I'd put this up here and figure it out later. I've added his picture but it's pretty distant and I can't tell if the team dancing is one of our teams. Maybe your eyes are better than mine.

Vietnam!

Paul Frederiksen ‏@pfredphotos 2h2 hours ago Hanoi, Vietnam
Just watched a clue handoff for The Amazing Race being film in Hanoi. Btw, the cameramen treating everyone like crap
8:58 PM - 26 Jun 2016
Hanoi, Vietnam




After isolating the image and enlarging it to 400 percent of normal, and as blurry as that makes the image, I perceive possible fanny packs on the front side of he two figures wearing dark or black colored clothing. Not sure, but someone else might want to take a gander at it.

Ho Chi Minh City is 720 miles away south from Hanoi and its raining with severe thunderstorms.

One note of caution: Georgiapeach found an article in Vietnamese about a Polish version of The Amazing Race filming in Ha Long, Hai Phong, Ninh Binh, Lao Cai, Lai Chau and Dien Bien. No mention of Hanoi. From the pictures it looks like a version of Pekin Express to me. So, it's possible this sighting was of the Polish Pekin Express, not TAR 29. I'll try to get the information about this other version up in the International board as soon as I can.

From Vietnam, I think they could head to Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, or Mongolia next.

I'm doubting Australia by this point. :(

Have we found out what leg we're in by this point? :lol:

So, based on the pics in Vietnam, we know 2 of the final 4/5 teams.

TAR29 most likely might host two Vietnam legs.


As for penultimate legs, Japan/South Korea/Taiwan (China & HK not counted as they visited on last two seasons) would be the highest possibilities as East Asia provide multiple flights back to US which is convenience for them. In fact South Korea and Taiwan last visit was 17 and 19 respectively which both deserved for another visit, and for Japan the TARUS have the pattern to visit there every 3 interval season and the last visit was 26 which fitted the pattern for another visit. lol


Penultimate legs in SEA was less possible because it would need to go west again (except Philippines, but then it get visited on 25.), and they would need to connect East Asia airport in order back to US. (See 25 as they connect Tokyo Narita airport back to LA).
